0:00 Fantasie Impromptu :D

The bass notes beginning around 2:06 spell out a motive from the opera, The Heroic in Siegfried. This is a very important part of the music and the Ring cycle in general and the pianist's approach to the melody in that part is, in my opinion, absolutely correct.

It doen't have to be sad Verdegrand..
Buy some of Chitose Okashiro CD's
and put them up on youtube.

@plateau5valley5 This man speaks truthzors... A Artist is something entirely different, and a good artist is a treasure indeed!! Piano players are a dime a dozen..
-
@pianopera She leaves the chords softer than the single notes. I think that's pretty logical.
-
I don't think it's the right piano for this approach. A bit bright and without much depth.

Ms. Okashiro seems now more widely present on the ProPIanoRecords channel. I checked it out. Try for yourself. You might find it to your liking

There is ONE THING you need to know about her: YOU ARE LISTENING TO AN ARTIST.
A SECOND THING you need to know is: In the "piano world," an ARTIST and a pianist, are NOT always the same thing... and rarely are they found in a single "player.
More than a pianist, this woman is an ARTIST!!!! (one who just happens to be a pianist too.)
"Too loud, too fast, too much bass, etc." are mere attempts at pedantic criticism.
FInd her CDs... online if you must... and HEAR ARTISTRY every single time!
I love this pianist, do you have any video of her playing live? i´ve never seen one... PD: tahnks for posting

It's sad that this seems to be the only video on youtube with Chitose Okashiro. Don't know how she thinks about her stuff on YouTube, but she is an amazing pianist, and her renditions of Wagner and Scriabin are extremely sophisticated. Thanks for the video. Oh and BTW she does seem to have a tendency to emphasize bass notes in most of her recordings. But you get used to it pretty quickly, imo, because the rest that she has to offer is worth it.
